Animals - Film Festival 2019

This is a movie about two best friends at the point of their lives when they begin what I think of as adulting.  Laura and Tyler live in Dublin in a messy flat, where they spend their evenings drinking too much, taking drugs, dancing in clubs and generally misbehaving.  When Laura meets a beau, their friendship is tested.  It was a fun energetic twist on the familiar story and I maybe felt 20 years too old to be really moved by the story, as I found both characters to be annoying and   self indulgent and their drunken behavior wasn't charming or funny, but cringe worthy and sad.   3/5

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like this one. I have no patience for children in adult form.
